Brass Nipple for Plumbing Installations

This 4-inch by 5-inch no-lead red brass nipple connects two female-threaded pipes in water-supply systems. It is intended for plumbers and maintenance technicians who need a durable, corrosion-resistant fitting for potable-water lines. The product is supplied new and complies with California Proposition 65 labelling requirements regarding listed chemicals.

Threaded Fitting Integration

The nipple mates with standard NPT threads on valves, couplings or pipe ends, requiring only thread sealant or tape for a watertight joint. Its brass construction resists dezincification and eliminates the need for dielectric unions when joining copper to steel. No specialised tools beyond pipe wrenches are needed for installation.

Sustained Pressure Performance

Under continuous system pressure the red brass body maintains dimensional stability and resists stress-corrosion cracking better than standard yellow brass. The no-lead alloy meets health-safety standards for drinking water during long-term service. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the alloy.
